Vintage Rolex Watches — Delivered to Turkey
Istanbul — where East meets West across the Bosphorus — has been a luxury trading center for half a millennium. Golden Age's vintage rolex watches honor this tradition, offering Turkish collectors pieces that span the Ottoman, Republican, and modern eras.
Our Rolex collection spans the most coveted references of the 20th century. The Rolex Cellini 18K Gold Lapis Lazuli 1970s exemplifies the extraordinary pieces in our inventory — not a standard production model, but a watch created for military commanders and heads of state. Alongside it, the Rolex 1988 Oyster Quartz Steel-Gold Complete Set represents the evolution of Rolex craftsmanship across decades.
What distinguishes Golden Age's vintage Rolex offerings from conventional vintage dealers is provenance. Every Rolex in our collection has been traced to its original owner or commission, with serial numbers verified against known production records. We don't deal in "possibly" or "attributed to" — our documentation is definitive.
Delivery to Istanbul, Ankara, and throughout Turkey takes 5-7 business days via international courier with full insurance. Customs duties and special consumption tax apply. Our collection includes Ottoman-era pieces of particular interest to Turkish collectors.

Our Turkey Collection
Turkish collectors will find deep historical resonance in our collection. We hold a Rare 1912 Ottoman Empire Longines Pocket Watch — a piece from the final years of the Empire — alongside Ottoman military medals and decorations from the 1333H era. Our collection also includes a Rare Ottoman Empire Order of Distinction 1862 from the reign of Sultan AbdulAziz, one of the most significant Ottoman military decorations in private hands.
Coins & Medals for Turkey Collectors
Our numismatic collection features Ottoman-era coins and medals alongside a 1780 Maria Theresia Thaler that was widely circulated during the Ottoman period. We also carry rare coins from territories once under Ottoman administration, including Palestinian, Iraqi, and Syrian issues.
Rare Collectibles — Turkey
Beyond Ottoman pieces, we offer rare banknotes from the former Ottoman territories — including complete sets from Iraq, Syria, and Jordan — as well as military decorations spanning the transition from Empire to modern republic.
